You use whatever means will get you the most material for cuttings.

YEah, Woomiester is right. But if you have a really big plant, you might want to harvest your cola nugs first and then wait a week while the others catch up w/ the added sunlight. Harvest based on trichromes, not hairs.

At? Is that below or above? The exact point is important reason why I spent a bit of time explaining the hormonal response thingie. If you topped above the 4th node, you'll get a bushy plant with the last output to occur at the lowest node, if at all. You will not get 2 or 4 main colas.

How on earth did you get 4 nodes? Thats a first around here. Read the first few pages, then read the last couple of pages, and all of your questions should be answered. Ill give you one hint though. You count from the bottom up. It sounds like you have it in reverse.

What happens to the part of the plant that you actually cut? does it continue to grow as a 3rd-5th main cola, or does it recede back and meet the "2 main colas"?

i understand that well lemme ask this have anyone heard of a seed with two tap roots then developing into two (i guess twins) plants? and the second question is cocerning lights: is it better to use red and blue lights in vegg. or just blue? also are hps lights or mh lights better for flowering?

Not to be a smartass, but a bit further back he has a great post explaining plant light use. Start at the beginning of his and you'll know what they need. Gook Luck.
